Why there should not be any taxes on tips in Virginia

Image
  In the state of Virginia, we are not as taxed as other places, but the Democrats have been hunkering in their strongholds, attempting to enrich themselves at the expense of the average citizen. The party is basically a corrupt party at this point, one that exists in nostalgia and nothing else than that. One of the greatest triumphs of Trump 2.0 is his push to remove taxes on tips. The food service industry has often been ignored by many, but times are changing now. Taxes on the tips of service workers should be removed sot that they get more money in their pockets. It can only be helpful to many of the hard-working service sector employees.

  Strasburg, Virginia. The Small town at the Entrance of the Shenandoah Valley. Strasburg, Virginia is a Virginian small town in the true sense of the word. Virginia is a state that is divided between two types of culture or three if you want to be more specific. There is the Northern Virginian culture of corporate offices and sprawling suburban houses. Then there is the Virginia of the South of small towns and cities such as Roanoke. Then we have the Richmond area stretching to Virginia Beach, a mix of the two cultures. I prefer the second culture here. It is more intimate and more interesting to see. Too often in Northern Virginia do we have people who just build data centers or parking lots for commuters everywhere. There is no character to the buildings, just repeating the same colonial style buildings. Strasburg, Virginia is one of those great towns with such a cozy feel which is hard to describe. You need to be there to understand what that feeling is. When I went there in De...

Shack Shack Gainesville, Virginia Burger and Hot Dog Review

Image
  Shack Shack Gainesville, Virginia Review Shake Shack has one of the best burgers in the local area. McDonalds is still a mainstay while Burger King is trying to always catch up. Shake Shack has its urban sensibility in spades. When going to this restaurant on opening week, it was so tough even getting in there without waiting in  line. Such experiences may have a premium in the post-covid era but I am generally impatient. I chose a day to wait and I enjoyed a very good meal which is well worth the money.

Iran Lost the 12 Day War and Israel has triumphed in the Middle East

Image
Iran Lost the 12 Day War and Israel has triumphed in the Middle East The 12 Day War was quite a roller coast ride of emotions and missiles and bombs flying across two countries that have generally hated each other.  President Trump has brough peace through strength. It is not cliche; think about under Biden how Hamas managed to launch October 7th attacks, and the administration was dithering while wasting its time on spending money on EVs and other useless projects. Trump is a much greater president than he ever was. Just because someone seems nicer does not make them competent or better ruler.  Iran's willingness for strategic patience cost them dearly in this war. Israel shows itself to be a creature of action not patience. In this world, action gives the greatest bounty not sitting for the hits. Iran is seen as the darling of the BRICS nations; a coalition of highly idealistic people who only seem to come together for meetings that go nowhere. Isreal has shown once again: ...
